Peer-to-Peer network takes more and more important role in the internet life and is studied by more and more researchers. This paper constructs multi-layer topologies according to users' requirements based on existing algorithms and p2p routing topology. From the existing base topology, new virtual topology rules can be constructed as required in which each virtual node corresponds to a node in the original topology. During resource locating in a multi-layer p2p system, the user can perform searches in different topologies as desired. The search efficiency can thus be improved as the routing and locating will not be constrained by the original routing rules.
